The role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the variability in plasma
lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels was investigated in 220 members of 14 families with familial …

Plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and lipoprotein [a](Lp [a]) levels were determined in 216
members of 14 families with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Ninety-nine subjects …

Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is a quantitative genetic trait that in the general population is largely
controlled by 1 major locus—the locus for the apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] gene. Sibpair …

Summary Apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] is a large serum glycoprotein with several genetically
determined isoforms differing in their apparent molecular weight. We determined the effects …

We measured plasma levels of lipoprotein (a)(Lp (a)) in a sample of 152 Dutch adolescent
mono-and dizygotic twin pairs and their parents. The distribution of Lp (a) levels was …

Abstract Lipoprotein (a)(Lp [a]) is a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein resembling LDL but also
containing a large polypeptide designated apolipoprotein (a)(apo [a]). Its levels are highly …

There is considerable variation in the severity of cardiovascular disease among patients with
familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Some reports have suggested that plasma lipoprotein …

We studied the relation between the concentration of lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] in plasma,
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] phenotype, and the clinical expression of coronary artery disease …

Plasma lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)], a low density lipoprotein particle with an attached
apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)], varies widely in concentration between individuals. These …

Previous studies have indicated that serum lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] levels are mostly under
genetic control. We have attempted to determine whether serum Lp (a) levels differ in …
